Fig. 14

Cylindrically averaged vertical structure of flows, density, and temperature in K shown on the contours against planetocentric radius and height. Deviations from a spherically symmetric temperature profile are due to compressional heating for the free-falling and CPD-overshooting midplane flows, and due to efficient radiative cooling in the vertical. Density colours show the toroidal structure of the CPD. Streamline colours indicate the fraction of Keplerian rotation on each flowline, helping to estimate gas residence time on each particular orbit. Streamlines of high Keplerian rotation will therefore orbit more perpendicular to the plot rather than following the streamlines, and vice versa.
